Trump Claims He Will Reopen Churches If States Don’t. Um, he can’t. But it’s red meat to his evangelical base. Until they start dying. Here’s why he did it:
The president’s intervention came as his strength with religious supporters has slipped somewhat. Among white evangelical Protestants who favor Republicans, 77 percent said Mr. Trump was doing a good job dealing with the pandemic, down from 83 percent who thought so in March, according to a poll by the Pew Research Center. Catholic voters who approved of his virus performance two months ago now rate it negatively.
Every decision he makes is political. Every. Single. One.
Florida Voter Fraud…Did Not Exist. Of course, the unfounded allegations are what will remain in the public’s consciousness.
Everything Falls Apart, Ctd. 1,601,434 confirmed cases and 96,007 deaths in the United States. Study shows that 24 states may still have ‘uncontrolled spread’ of Covid, mostly in southern states. Which reminds me, a study indicates that there may well be a massive undercount in the South.
Oregon Has Their Very Own Christine O’Donnell. According to, well, her, Jo Rae Perkins was ‘literally physically in tears’ at campaign’s disavowal of her support for QAnon. She then cites Q as her ‘information resource’.
Robert Reich: When This Is Over, Go On Strike. Sage words from my favorite workers’ advocate. Case in point? Amazon refuses to cooperate with Wisconsin health officials on testing. John? Is Amazon cooperating on testing its workers in Delaware? Have you even asked? Would you do anything about it? Or are they, like the Delaware City refinery and the Sussex County chicken plants, above the law?
Proper Cornhole Techniques. Ever heard of Cornhole? Didja know there is an American Cornhole League? I didn’t until the pandemic. Starved for programming, ESPN started showing cornhole matches. It’s all about tossing a bag filled with corn kernels into a hole on a board. There are elements of curling involved when it comes to blocking, and it’s equally as boring. However, watch the linked video. This game is just made for people with beer bellies. Who knows, maybe you’ll discover a skill you didn’t know you had. I mean, they’ve got to have Cornhole at the Delaware State Fair, don’t they?
Delaware To Require Universal Testing At Long-Term Care Facilities. This is one industry where ‘voluntary’ doesn’t work, and has never worked. Especially the ‘for-profit’ sector of this industry. Their profit largely comes from squeezing care from the patients. That, and their real estate holdings.
